Huge Announcement

end of private home book study

TweetieBird

what does "KW" stand for?

I think that was a typo...I took it to mean Kingdom Hall...but I could be wrong.

If this announcement is true, I think it's probably designed to help alleviate some of the work for elders. If everyone meets at the hall then either they will have 1 book study conductor and rotate the readers like they do the WT study, or they will rotate the book study conductor to give elders/ministerial servants a break or assign a MS to do the book study.

I also think that if true, it will alleviate stress for people that currently have book study in their home. I use to have it in mine and always dreaded Tuesday's and Saturday's. It's a lot of work especially if you have small children, and that always seemed to be the ones that offered their homes when I was in.

I just recently started using an elliptical machine. I love it and hate it at the same time. About 2 minutes after I start, my legs (thighs) start burning and continues for the full 30 minutes. Does the burning ever go away? and is it okay to do everyday? I've been doing 30 minutes on the elliptical followed by 30 on the treadmill every day but because of the burning, should I only do the elliptical every other day?

Preaching work over?

well i mean, they came to my apartment building an hour ago, 4 in the car, 1 came out, went to one of the units upstairs for 2 minutes, didn't do the other doors, didn't do any of the neighboors.

they headed back to town which is 20 minutes away.

with that kind of efficiency it's over trust me....

TweetieBird

It's probably what we use to call a mini-territory. When there are apartment complexes or trailer parks that are supposedly off limits, you get a territory where you only work 1 door and then leave. They lump together about 10 of these things together so you basically do a lot of driving around with no response. I always liked working mini territories because 99% of the time you could go out for 2 hours and rarely talk to anyone.

I hope the JWs are paying attention

the news stations are reporting on the west texas orthodox lds sect compound and the atrocities that have been taking place there.

the sect tells its adherants that "anyone on the outside is of the devil".

also, the sect has previously predicted the end of the world.

Heaven's Gate is what got me to thinking. When I saw all of their video's before they committed suicide, I had an AHA moment.

Need a guys opinion and ladies feel free to chime in!

i have a "friend" and i say that loosely because i don't think that she is a good friend.

she only calls me when my husband is in town to do stuff with her, i.e.

go to lunch, etc.

TweetieBird

Her boss was probably married as well.

He was! She slept with him for a few months, while she was with her boyfriend, and now she's dumped both of them.

Thanks for all of your comments. I agree with all of you that she is not a true friend. She is one of those girls that has to be the center of attention and preferable male attention of any kind.

Casper, I'm with you...I am very territorial.

As for hubby, he and I have a great relationship and are always brutally honest with each other. He has mentioned to me before (when out with her) that we need new friends so that won't be a problem. He just didn't think we needed to be mean to her and that's what pissed me off. He asked me if I wanted him to say something to her but I told him no, that I would take care of it.

I like Terry's advice also. Thanks!

When you guys are out with her,how much attention does he give her?

Nothing out of the ordinary. But if I go to the bathroom or outside for anything, when I walk back in she has plopped down in the seat next to him. I've mentioned this to him before and he is aware of it, but says that I shouldn't worry about it because a) he loves me and b) he finds her totally unattractive. He says she looks like a possum (sp). She's not bad looking, has a decent body but she belches out loud (really loud) all the time in front of everyone, which is really crude in my opinion.

I think he enjoys the attention she gives him cause she's about 10 years younger than us, but I think that is as far as it goes.

She's very out-going, makes friends every where she goes but I feel that she's a user. She seems to latch on to a couple of people for a few months and then she's on to the next one.

I need help! I have a "friend" and I say that loosely because I don't think that she is a good friend. She only calls me when my husband is in town to do stuff with her, i.e. go to lunch, etc. It's always an invitation to the both of us. She will call my cell phone first and if I don't pick up right away she immediately calls my husband's cell phone and invites "us" to lunch or the beach, etc. My husband (whom I will call Mike) is only home every other week. The week's that he is gone, I don't hear from her, if I call her she doesn't answer her phone which she keeps glued to her. I've been with her enough times to know that she looks at who's calling and will only answer if it's someone she wants to talk to. I have even tried to call her in the past and she won't answer, but when I use DH's phone she picks up immediately. Hmmm!

She recently broke up with her live-in boyfriend, of whom she was fooling around on with her boss, whom she's now quit sleeping with cause she is probably looking for her next victim...my husband. She refer's to him as "Sexy Mike".

My DH and I got into a fight last time he was here because she called to see if we wanted to go to lunch with her and I got pissed and said to him, "why don't you go by yourself." He said that was uncalled for, that he doesn't think we should be mean to her. I personally don't give a you-know-what about her feelings.

Should I be concerned?
